DEAR ALL...
thanks so much for asking and caring... working so far is fine for me, and i'm loving it to the core.

the people at my workplace are really nice, they are willing to teach and help, and i can say none of them is selfish or self-centred, despite the fact that our job is commission-based.
my colleague sharon is a very funny and easy-going people, she's friendly and very willing to teach me.
and there's this auntie jennifer from the counter next to mine who's always ready to help me, eventhough we are from different companies.
and then there's this anutie tan and auntie june from other counters who always talk to me when i'm bored.
and then there are other young girls working there who are so fun and friendly.
basically my daily jobscope includes serving customers and promoting items (by the way i'm selling dunhill and givenchy products), counting stocks, counting the amt of sales, and because i'm always in the later shift, i have to report sales to my boss before i leave also.
so all in all, it isn't a very difficult job, except that i'm not allowed to sit, and that i have to wear black everyday. sianz.

but everything has its downside.
when there are no customers, it can get really boring...
so we always gather and talk to kill time. but when the manager comes down all of a sudden, we have to be alert and disperse ourselves. lol.
but the good thing is, there r some shuai guys working there. some of them are like me, working while waiting for results.
and yes, there's one guy selling shoes at the counter opposite who's quite good looking, and there's another one who sells perfume, and there's another one selling leather goods like me also... oh gosh. i sound like i'm guy crazy. but this's what happens when u get too bored and there's nothing u can do. i can't possibly look at girls right? haha.

and there were some funny encounters at work too.
eventhough we are the sales there, sometimes our counter can be information centre too. the customers will just come and ask,
'excuse me, where's the washroom?'
'excuse me, do you know where's the place selling **?'
'excuse me, do you know where's the ** counter?'
they can just go and check the directory wat!!!
sometimes it can get quite irritating but we still have to squeeze out the smile and show them the way...
yawnz.

it's worse when the ang-mohs approach you. some of them have very heavy accent, and u have to say a few times of 'sorry? beg your pardon?' before u can fully understand what they say. so it's quite pai-seh.

and then during break time everyday i have to go down to the staff canteen alone to have my lonely meal as the rest have their breaks at different time...so it's quite pathetic also...

all in all, working is ok for me.
i have learnt quite a lot and so far my performance isn't too bad.
i have managed to sell about 3K of items. hehez. not bad huh.

i'll only be at home once a week when i'm off from work. so i may not be able to update so often anymore. so sorrieee yaa.
